Eagle Rock Entertainment will deliver to the masses Russia's premiere rock band PUSHKING. Their CD, "The World As We Love It", will hit the shelves on February 1. [MSRP $13.98]

This new album is a 19-track celebration, composed of re-recorded selections from PUSHKING's catalogue featuring some very special guests. Paul Stanley (KISS), Billy F. Gibbons (ZZ TOP), Alice Cooper, Steve Vai, Glenn Hughes (DEEP PURPLE), Joe Lynn Turner (RAINBOW), Keri Kelli (ALICE COOPER), Steve Stevens (BILLY IDOL), and Nuno Bettencourt (EXTREME) are just some of the elite rock alumni who RSVP'd for this musical party.

Produced by Fabrizio Grossi (GLENN HUGHES, ALICE COOPER, DAVE NAVARRO, TOTO), "The World As We Love It" is a superior series of shifting moods, showcasing PUSHKING's versatile musical prowess. Loaded with soaring harmonics, sky-scaling solos, and just the right amount of grit, the band's genre-straddling sound is a marriage of solid hard rock and classic Eastern European heritage.

Formed in 1994, PUSHKING is the culmination of vocalist/main songwriter Konstantin "Koha" Shustarev, guitarists Nikolai Yegerev and Dmitry Losev, bassist Valeriy Sadakov, keyboardist Vicktor Drobysh, and drummer Andrey Kruglov. The chemistry within this band has resulted in a potent brand of rock music, which has preserved through their 15-year career and only gets better. "It was a gas singin' on their record", states Glenn Hughes. "Take it from me, it's the real deal!!"

Sacrament Of Buyan", a brand new song from Ukrainian black metal horde KHORS, can be streamed using the audio player below (courtesy of AOL's Noisecreep). The track comes off the band's new full-length album, "Return To Abandoned", which has just been made available via Paragon Records. On "Return To Abandoned" KHORS yields harsher, brooding sounds of its earlier work while mixing in the melancholy and spacious atmosphere of 2008's unsung dark black gem "Mysticism". Inarguably the most majestic journeythe band has taken its listeners on thus far, "Return To Abandoned" will appeal to old and new fans alike.

KHORS was formed by former ASTROFAES bassist Khorus in August 2004, with an aim to create gloomy, powerful, atmospheric black metal. Sometime later, guitarist/vocalist Helg (RUNES OF DIANCEHT) and drummer Khaoth (TESSARACT, ASTROFAES, HATE FOREST) joined the fold. The band was later rounded out by guitarist Warth. Contrary to rumors, KHORS is not attached to any politically motivated groups or extremists. For fans of KAMPFAR, MOONSORROW, BORKNAGAR, etc.

"Return To Abandoned" track listing:

01. The Arrival (Intro)
02. Lost Threads
03. Asgard's Shining
04. Song Of The Void
05. The Fog (...And Grief Still Moans)
06. Mysteries Cosmos
07. The Seas Burn Of Omnipotence
08. Sacrament Of Buyan

Earlier this fall, Paragon reissued "The Flames Of Eternity's Decline" and "Cold", KHORS' now classic first two full-lengths — originally released in 2005 and 2006, respectively, as a two-CD set with new layout, nine bonus tracks and a rare early video from the band. Though KHORS has long progressed musically, these early recordings still brim with the unique atmosphere of pagan black metal the band was built upon.

The long-awaited second album of the most famous Russian pagan/doom metal band Amber Tears being one of the best representatives of Russian pagan scene. Having started their way as followers of the cult Belorussian band Gods Tower Amber Tears demonstrate their own unique face at the second album “A Key for December”. Basing on folk motives and lyrics featuring folk tradition the musicians added doom death metal elements with all their slowness and weight to their music. The Russian traditional musical instrument gusli appearing on the album underlines the mental connection of Amber Tears work with traditional Russian music which is organically fused with modern melodic doom metal features. This album is indeed a milestone!
